(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Enterprise data center solutions provider Egenera (www.egenera.com) has released a series of four new processing blade (or "pBlade") products based on the new 6-Core Intel Xeon processor E7400 series.
According to Egenera's announcement this week, all of its new 6-Core Intel Xeon processor pBlades are certified to support Microsoft Windows, RedHat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, and Oracle Enterprise Linux operating systems.
With four 2.4GHz Intel Xeon E7450 processors, the new pBlades come in 32, 64, 96 and 128GB memory configurations, and will be able to support as much as 192GB in the future. Built for enhanced virtualization capabilities, the Intel Xeon processor E7450 reduces costs and boosts system utilization. Customers will also benefit from achieving greater density with lower cooling requirements due to the space saving and energy efficient technologies.
"Egenera continues to offer customers the greatest choice and flexibility - in addition to the most powerful x86 blades in a standard 1U form factor - in the industry," Egenera chief technology officer and executive vice president of engineering Pete Manca said in a statement. "Leveraging Intel's latest advanced technologies, the newest Egenera pBlades enable businesses to run their dynamic data centers even more efficiently than ever before."
Egenera's integrated system lets pBlade modules run diskless and stateless, enabling automated allocation, repurposing and failover, since any processing blade can assume the identity of any other server. Egenera's integrated systems control these stateless blades with its PAN Manager software, letting customers automatically allocate resources to applications and dynamically scale performance.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
